President Bashar al-Assad said the developments currently witnessed in many countries in the region and the world prove that the policies which Syria has followed since the beginning of the war against it have been correct.

He reiterated that the victories achieved on the ground by the Syrian Arab Army and the supporting and allied forces and the political position and attitudes of Syria and allied countries, on top being Iran, have not only resulted in inflicting successive defeats on the terrorist organizations, but also contributed to consolidating the international law and the right of countries to defending their sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity and preventing any party from interfering in their domestic affairs… … …

PRESIDENT AL-ASSAD: “UNDERMINING PAN-ARAB AFFILIATION UNDERMINES FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE AGAINST CULTURAL OR INTELLECTUAL INVASION ATTEMPTS”

President Bashar al-Assad on Tuesday received participants in the Arab Forum for Confronting Zionist-US Reactionary Alliance and Supporting the Resistance of the Palestinian people, which is attended by forces, parties, and figures from several Arab states.

Delivering a speech during the meeting, President al-Assad said that dealing with issues affecting the Arab nation and pan-Arabism requires serious work to clear up some concepts that targeted the nation, including attempts to undermine the relation between Arabism and Islam, stressing that Arabism and pan-Arabism is a civilized, cultural, and human condition.

He also stressed the need to disprove claims of there being contradiction between Arabism and Islam, as well as disproving any ethnic discourse, adding that the policies of some Arab states that worked against the interests of the Arab people have also affected pan-Arabism.

President al-Assad said that the war on Syria hasn’t affected the Syrians’ faith in the inevitability of victory against terrorism, nor has it weakened its adherence to their identity, creed, and pan-Arab affiliation.

Participants stressed the importance of the Syrian victory against terrorism and those who support it, asserting that what President al-Assad proposed about pan-Arab work constitutes basis that participants can build upon.

President al-Assad began his speech by welcoming the participants in the Forum which discusses important pan-Arab issues, as pan-Arabism constitutes identity and affiliation as well as being the past and present of peoples and the basis of their existence… … …

72 years since the foundation of the Syrian Arab Army and 7 years since the global terrorism against Syria. On the Syrian Army day, we express our full support to the heroes of the SAA, promising them to be their soldiers in media until final victory.

SPEECH OF PRESIDENT BASHAR HAFEZ AL-ASSAD, Commander-in-Chief of the Syrian Arab Armed Forces, on the 72nd anniversary of the foundation of the Syrian Arab Army.

Commander-in-Chief of the Army and the Armed Forces, President Bashar al-Assad stressed that Syria is facing a Takfiri terrorist enemy the likes of which have never been seen throughout history in terms of treachery, malevolence, and hatred, an enemy which is backed by several regional and international parties that have been seeking for years to impose their dominance on the whole region.

In a speech on the 72nd anniversary of the foundation of the Syrian Arab Army delivered through “Jaish al-Sha’ab” (People’s Army) magazine, President al-Assad said that Syria has been able to remain steadfast and made many successive achievements thanks to the heroic actions of the army, the unity of our dignified people, and the sacrifices of the martyrs………..

“Defenders of the homeland and makers of victory makers, today you are writing an epic of glory and you are drawing with your steadfastness and determination the features of the near victory. You are consolidating security and stability across our beloved homeland…
…A salute to you honorable men on your day, and a salute to your gracious families which have been as patient as you have been, and they have been a role model in nationalism and patriotism….”…………….

Qalamoun Shield Forces:
Capabilities And Role In Syrian War

The Qalamoun Shield Forces (QSF) appeared as a noticeable auxiliary force of the Syrian military in the first half of 2016, with the goal of protecting the Al-Qalamoun areas from terrorist threats and securing the Syrian-Lebanese border. The group includes approximately 2800 fighters, most of whom are volunteers from the eastern towns of Al-Qalamoun, along with a few hundred former fighters from the Free Syrian Army (FSA). A number of FSA fighters had joined the QSF after a reconciliation agreement with the Syrian government.

The QSF is linked to the Third Armored Division of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), and works with both the Syrian Republican Guard and Lebanese Hezbollah. The QSF has several bases in Yabroud and Al-Nabak. It’s led by Lieutenant Firas Khaza’a, and mainly funded by the Syrian Ministry of Defense. The QSF is one the groups supported by the Russian military, which armed and trained all of its fighters in the early 2017.

The QSF controls a number of important border points in eastern Qalamoun, especially the area of Flitah, near the Lebanese area of Jurod Arsal, the stronghold of ISIS militants. It has managed along with the Syrian Republican Guard and Hezbollah to repel several attacks of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) in the vicinity of Flitah.

In these difficult moments, of resistance and suffering for our people and our motherland, under aggression by wicked foreign forces, these images are good for our hearts, for our souls under pressure…

Glory to our heroic Syrian Arab Army and our humble president Dr. Bashar Hafez al-Assad. Despite the tons of disgracefully fabricated lies, despite all the hatred, despite all the attempts to kill him, he still stands strong for Syria, and for dignity, pride and self-sufficiency.

He stands because we stand with him. Get that! Every attempt to make us bow to silly bloody wahhabism and western imperialism has failed yet, and will fail in future. (commented by Fatime Oomyadin)

As the war on Syria enters its seventh year, the 6th of May brings to mind stories of heroism, glory, commitment and all sacrifices that the Syrians have made to defend the independence of their homeland and its territorial integrity over the years.

Nowadays, the Martyrs’ Day, which annually marked on May 6th to commemorate the Syrian and Lebanese nationalists executed by the Ottomans in Beirut and Damascus for resisting the occupation in 1916, is an opportunity to honor and pay tribute to all Syrian mothers and their sons for their sacrifices to confront the terrorist war waged on their country since 2011.

Sou’ad Jneidi, mother of martyrs Mayyas and Ali Ahmad, recalled the last moments with her son before his martyrdom, adding that she is proud of her two sons who irrigated with their blood the soil of Aleppo for the sake of their country.

Long life to Major General Issaam Zahreddeen of the Syrian Republican Guard.

Him, with the soldiers at his command from the 104th Airborne Brigade of the Republican Guard, are
[along with the other brigades and battalions of loyal Syrian patriots]
the nightmare of all mercenary-terrorist gangs in Syria…and over….

Upon the 69th anniversary of the Syrian Arab Army, we would like to thank them with our highest praise of respect, pride and honor.

Many men and women have given their lives to defend this beautiful country known as Syria, and many continue today.

Who is the Syrian Arab Army?
Its the mothers and fathers of Syria.
Its the sons and daughters of Syria.
Its an army made of the people of Syria. Its an army of diverse backgrounds of religion throughout the country. It consists mostly of the Sunni population as Syria is is approximately 75% Sunni. The Sunni will will defend the Christians churches with a vigilant fight as they will their own mosques, and vice versa.

You see, in Syria, people are not defined to what religion they belong. They are Syrians before they are religion. A Sunni will live next door to an Alawiite, or a Jew or a Christian. There is no division on sectarian lines.

No sooner had the army and the national support groups announced re-establishing control over almost all parts of Ghweiran neighborhood in Hasaka city than hundreds of residents started to return back.

The last ISIS terrorists’ positions in the building blocks surrounding the cemetery on the southeastern outskirts of the neighborhood and other areas have been confirmed eliminated on Thursday.

The events of the last few months have been unravelling in a manner that was least revealing. Suddenly however, some developments can be seen, which if connected together, can only lead to one assessment and speculation.

The War on Syria is coming to a head and the real battle for liberating Syria is about to begin.

Friends of Syria ought to brace themselves for the mother of all battles.
Once the Qalamoun is cleansed, Aleppo will be purified, Palmyra would have already been liberated, and the ISIS fighters will flee like rats.
Syrian forces will meet Iraqi forces, shake hands, and call it mission accomplished.
